North Carolina – A North Carolina woman was taken into custody earlier this week and later charged with feIony chiId abuse following an incident involving a baby under her care. The sequence of events unfolded when the child was entrusted to her supervision during a routine babysitting arrangement. While in the woman’s care, the toddler sustained severe burns to his hands and feet during a bath. The extent of the injuries was so severe that the child required skin grrafts on his legs.
Emergency responders transported the injured child to a local children’s hospital, where medical staff promptly initiated treatment for the burns. The child’s mother, upon receiving the distressing news, rushed to the hospital and recounted that her 1-year-old child appeared “out of it” and was no longer crying by the time she arrived.
The police department’s Special Victims Unit initiated an investigation into the incident. Detectives conducted interviews and gathered evidence, leading to the identification of 40-year-old Amisha as the individual responsible for supervising the child during the bath. The investigation revealed that the injuries occurred while the child was in Johnson’s care.
When questioned by responding officers, she provided an account of the events leading up to the incident. However, specific details regarding her statements to law enforcement have not been publicly disclosed. Authorities have not released information about her explanation for the child’s injuries or any potential motives behind her actions.
She was subsequently arrested and taken to the county jail, where she was held under a secured bond of $25,000. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child’s injuries remains ongoing, with law enforcement authorities working diligently to uncover all pertinent details.
The mother told local news outlet FOX8 that she had left her baby with a friend while she went to get her hair done. Hours later, she received a call that her baby had been injured. His calves, feet, and right hand had sustained severe burns. The family spent over two weeks in the hospital as the child received treatment. The mother said that her son is doing alright after undergoing surgery and extensive treatment, but he still has a long way to go in terms of recovery.
“From the calves down, there’s no skin. Just red,” she explained, describing the extent of his injuries. The mother revealed that the incident occurred while her son was under the care of a babysitter. The severity of the injuries required specialized medical attention.
As the investigation progresses, authorities are committed to providing updates to the public and ensuring that all individuals involved are held accountable for their actions. The local community remains shaken by the incident, and residents await further developments as more information becomes available.
